  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam

Instructions

  4. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter over the crust and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door slightly open.
  8. Remove from the oven, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, spread strawberry jam over the top and arrange fresh strawberries decoratively.

Notes

For best results, use room-temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent cracks.
